My first Job was writing PL/S programs to control robotics down at a plant in Lexington.......some of you older cats might know the place. .

I was a Freshman in college, and they paid me quite well as a co-op. It is what got me started in this field. I learned as much as I could from the old timers there.

Heck the only reason I got the job is because I knew Assembly Language..........Ye Haw.
